Carrier Waveform Shape
AM carrier shape: Sine, Square, Triangle, Ramp, or Arbitrary
waveform. The default is Sine.
You cannot use the noise function or dc volts as the carrier waveform.
Front-Panel Operation: Press any of the front-panel function keys
except
Noise . For arbitrary waveforms, the Arb key selects the
waveform that is currently downloaded.
Remote Interface Operation:
FUNCtion:SHAPe {SINusoid|SQUare|TRIangle|RAMP|USER}
You can also use the APPLy command to select the function,
frequency, amplitude, and offset with a single command.
Carrier Frequency
Carrier frequency: 100 mHz to 15 MHz (100 kHz for triangle and
ramp). The default is 1 kHz.
For arbitrary waveforms, the maximum carrier frequency depends on
the number of points specified in the waveform. The five built-in
arbitrary waveforms can be output at a maximum of 5 MHz.
Front-Panel Operation: Press the Freq key to select any valid
frequency for the selected function (the present amplitude and offset
voltage are used).
Remote Interface Operation:
